To this Institute’s 2017 Women end, I was recently asked to join a lunch meeting to talk about how EnsembleIQ of Excellence and one of our clients could partner to help support fellow women in retail.

While Walmart had a net gain in stores last year, store growth slowed and the make-up of U.S. stores shifted to either larger Supercenters or smaller Neighborhood Markets. Another adjustment was the 2016 purchase of online retailer Jet. com for $3.3 billion to bolster Walmart’s e-commerce presence.4 Further, CEO McMillon put Jet.com founder, Mark Lore, in charge of Walmart’s e-commerce operations to drive the retailer online initia- tive.5 However, Doug McMillon wondered: Am I doing enough?
